HPV detection performance vs clinician-collected swabs (CCS)
In a head-to-head comparison, the Daye Diagnostic Tampon demonstrated sensitivity of ≈ 82.9% and specificity of ≈ 91.6%, relative to clinician-collected swabs, yielding an overall accuracy of ~89%. The valid result rate was 99.2% (versus 95.4% for self-collected vaginal swabs and 90.8% for clinician swabs).
Selected research from Daye
Efficacy and acceptability of a self-collected medical grade tampon as a novel vaginal sample collection tool for the detection of HPV and STIs
This study aims to compare the efficacy and suitability of a self-collected tampon for the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) using qualitative TMA-based assays
Can samples taken with Daye tampons be used after being freezed?

Menstrual Tampons Are Reliable and Acceptable Tools to Self-Collect Vaginal Microbiome Samples
Menstrual tampons are a more effective tool for sample collection compared to the vaginal and cervical swabs. There are confirmed similar results in literature with reports of high specificity with variable sensitivity.
Hormone test selected research
Comparability of Self-Collected Capillary Blood Samples to Venous Blood Samples
Olson et al., 2023 – Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR)
98–99% analytical agreement between upper arm device capillary samples and standard venous draws across chemistry and endocrine analytes.
Microneedle-Based Self-Collection Device for Capillary Blood.
Blicharz et al., 2018 – Clinical Chemistry
High-quality, low-hemolysis samples suitable for hormone immunoassays. >95% user success rate on the first attempt. Significantly lower pain scores vs fingerprick.
Accuracy of self-collected capillary blood for biochemical analysis.
Demmel et al., 2022 – PLOS ONE
Upper-arm device self-collected samples show excellent correlation with venous for FSH, LH, estradiol, prolactin, and thyroid hormones.Patients overwhelmingly preferred the device over venipuncture.

Can samples taken with Daye tampons be used after being freezed?
University of Liverpool
There’s no statistically significant difference between corresponding fresh and frozen samples, enabling the conclusion that samples can be frozen before processing. The abbility to freeze tampon samples allows for processing at a more practical time.
